Hill Titan Emanates Aura of Giving and Kindness
« on: October 20, 2016, 07:59:23 am »

So a Hill Titan just showed up at my reanimating-evil-biome-with-husking-mist fort, and it "enamates an aura of giving and kindness."

W... T... F...?

I've never seen anything like it in DF.

Description tags based on the spheres the titan's tagged with.

"... technique seemed to consist mainly of standing still for a while and smiling.  After a while an animal - a deer perhaps - would appear out of the trees and watch him cautiously ... [he] would continue to smile at it, his eyes would soften and shine, and he would seem to radiate a deep and universal love, a love which reached out to embrace all of creation.  A wonderful quietness would descend on the surrounding countryside, peaceful and serene, emanating from this transfigured man.  Slowly the deer would approach, step by step, until it was almost nuzzling him, whereupon he would reach out to it and break its neck."

Douglas Adams, nailed it. 8)

I suggest using kilokittens. As cats are 10X the volume of kittens. That way, 50 cats would be .5 kilokittens.

100 cats would be 1 kilokitten.

I'm in the middle of something else at the moment, but when (if) the combat happens, I'll record it, upload it, and post a description here.

I've seen a handful of glacier titans associated with Happiness. Generally, I've got to say I like titans more than megabeasts because the large variety is usually pretty interesting. Plus it showcases the PRNG's sense of humor.

I can recall two encounters with such titans of peace and love. One was pretty dang violent for a peace lovin' fella. The other wasn't really violent at all but he definitely had a thing against statues and hatches and doors so he had to go.

A similar description from BLoodyhells succession fort.

...
Oh Armok!  On the 24th of Limestone, there is something coming from the northeast.

The Forest Titan, Salo Narenatipi has come!  It’s a huge scaly therapod, with three long straight tails and emanates an aura of giving and kindness.

What is this? A T-Rex hippie? An elf-loving monstrosity?  What can be worse that this?

Its eyes glow fuchsia, and its rose taupe scales are blocky and overlapping.

We’re worried that this titan can destroy our stone door.  But Salo starts chasing a weasel nefarious fog husk. 

Oh, I bet my beard that Armok is laughing now.  Thank you, you cruel joker! 

Despite the size advantage of the titan, the husk weasel is fighting it for a long time.  I am hopefully that we can build the bridge in the front entrance. 

So, what can be worse than this, I ask?

A cloud drifts over the fight, and the titan is caught in a cloud of nefarious fog! 

There is now a forest titan nefarious fog husk in the surface of Bloodyhells.

Suffice it to say this Titan turned out to be pretty flippin violent.
And that was before he got husked by a local cloud of devilish mist.
Such is the way of the Dwarf Fortress world.
